Such a snob!I'm not so sure anymore, both of you used to watch stuff by the likes of Tarkovsky once yet nowadays all you do is watching whatever second rate films the airplane companies has to offer! Tom Cruise's American Gangsters and whatnot.

As your sensei I find it troubling that you've neglected your training. You're quite weak in your current state.Such a snob!
The original Thing From Another World (Howard Hawks/Christian Nyby)In for a sci-fi film tonight. Anyone got a few recommendations apart from the classics/obvious? For example, I watched The Lazarus Effect yesterday. Pretty meh.

Fair. The old revival theatre I used to get my fix at changed owners and now they just show Tarantino or Apocalypse Now four hundred times in a row rather than a different film every night. Streaming also seems to have gone to shit and finding anything pre 2000 that isn’t 80s schlock seems nigh on impossible. I’ve begun accumulating criterion collection but it’s an expensive business.I'm not so sure anymore, both of you used to watch stuff by the likes of Tarkovsky once yet nowadays all you do is watching whatever second rate films the airplane companies has to offer!

Here's hoping the Criterion Channel will become available for the rest of the world soon.Fair.

The Man from Earth is a good low key sci-fi movie if you're after that kind of thing rather than aliens and space ships etc.In for a sci-fi film tonight. Anyone got a few recommendations apart from the classics/obvious? For example, I watched The Lazarus Effect yesterday. Pretty meh.
Weirdly despite being intellectually aware that it's not one of their very best, I think this is one of my favourites.Kiki's Delivery Service
A young witch moves to a new town and has to find her place in it. She uses her gifts to begin a delivery service. Looked superb and I was on board for the first half. But it kind of goes nowhere. No real threat or anything. Think from the Ghibli films I've seen so far, this is my least favourite 4/10
I had high hopes for this, James Gray is one of my favourite current directors. Care to tell us more?Ad Astra

If you like his other films then I'm guessing you'll probably like this one. I've personally never heard of his other films.I had high hopes for this, James Gray is one of my favourite current directors. Care to tell us more?
Cheers. If you care to know more about James Gray's filmography, I suggest We own the night and The lost city of ZIf you like his other films then I'm guessing you'll probably like this one. I've personally never heard of his other films.
Ad Astra was alright - overall a very well made film, some great space visuals, but the script for me was a bit one-dimensional and simplistic. And it comes across as a bit of a more arty 'thoughtful' sci-fi (which it is) but is also a bit Hollywoody/ridiculous at the same time.
Great performance from Pitt though.

The last one was one of the most violent and sadistic movies I've ever seen so feck knows how they've managed to make this even worse, but it sounds like they have.This massively enlarged prostate of a film can only make you wince with its badly acted geronto-ultraviolence, its Trumpian fantasies of Mexican rapists and hilariously insecure US border, and its crass enthusiasm for rape-revenge attacks undertaken by a still-got-it senior dude, 73 years young, on behalf of a sweet teenager.
New Rambo looks fun
Aye, I got a bit bored too. It was watchable but a 6/10 movie, at best.Ad Astra

Why do you think the violence was in bad taste?Once Upon a Time in Tinseltown - feck me, what a waste of three hours. A big, empty lifeless corpse of a film, like an entire movie made up of dvd extras, extended and deleted scenes. Even for the adolescent minded Weinstein lackey that violence near the end was in bad taste. Brad Pitt was the shining light.
Ad Astra is odd but I loved the ending.
He is aging like a fine wine.Once Upon a Time in Tinseltown - feck me, what a waste of three hours.

There was no script.I reckon that review is longer than the script for the film.
